Way to update existing projects

[garretwilson]

First let me say that project-plus does seem to be awesome.

But the way to update projects seems sort of clunky. If I turn off auto-discovery and have a project with the D:\foo\ directory (on Windows 10, for example), I can save it and edit the projects and give it a cool name such as... FooBar! Now FooBar will appear in my projects when I want to switch.

But then I remember that I forgot to add the D:\bar\ directory to my project. No problem; I switch back to FooBar and add it. Then I switch to the Example project. But when I go back to the FooBar project, D:\bar\ is no longer there?

Ah, I forgot to save it; apparently project-plus doesn't support auto-save of projects. OK, it's not a big deal; I just go to the menu and select Save Project. Whoops---now I have a FooBar project and a foo,bar project. Jeepers...

Sure, I can now go in and muck around with projects.cson, but... is there an easier way that I'm missing? Is this something that can be improved?

@garretwilson This can definitely be improved. Basically add/remove paths is an atom event that we can listen to in order to update the current project automatically in projects.cson. Atom Project Manager implemented this but I haven't ported it over yet.

You're welcome to take a crack at and submit a PR. We'll accept it.

Where is projects.cson?

@NetOperatorWibby It's in your ~/.atom directory.
